The Ford Barn - View Single Post - It's Friday. Crusty Flatty Pt17. Some assembly at last!

There are some things I show that might be of particular interest to barners.
I show the use of a tire lever to press down the inlet valve guides. This was discussed here before.
I show how you can assemble the old type valve assemblies up without a compressor. (I only learnt this myself recently).
I also show how you can align the crank to the cam with a minimum of messing about. Even I was surprised at how well this worked.
I show an improvised handle for lifting the flywheel end of the crank.
I also show how holding the engine vertically can be useful - this becomes more relevant in the next video. That was an easy mod that was well worthwhile.
